Semi-Official PBO custom packs ..

The commands I put into /usr/local/etc/rcS didn't get executed on boot. Is there any other files with similar function?

Thanks

It's probably because you HDD has not been mounted yet; sometimes you need to issue a sleep command (sleep 5) for example although if you are using the HDD you propably want to wait at least 30 sec (sleep 30) before issuing the mount command. You can also add something like that at the end of your rcS file:

n=1
while [ ! -d /tmp/hdd/volumes/HDD1 ] ; do
sleep 3
[ $n -gt 30 ] && break
let n+=1
done
mount -o bind /tmp/hdd/volumes/HDD1/opt /opt

Good luck

I tried your solution this way, no luck (I installed ipkg package openssl on ext3 partition (/tmp/hdd/root) not NTFS

n=1
while [ ! -d /tmp/hdd/root ] ; do
sleep 3
[ $n -gt 30 ] && break
let n+=1
done

mount -o bind /tmp/hdd/root/opt /opt
mount -o bind /tmp/hdd/root/etc /etc
/tmp/hdd/root/opt/sbin/sshd

Sorry for the confusion I thought you were using HDD1; anyhow I think that the /tmp/hdd/root exist right from the start although noting is mounted to it yet (HDD ext3 partition). I think that if you replace:

"while [ ! -d /tmp/hdd/root ] ; do" with this: "while [ ! -d /tmp/hdd/root/opt ] ; do"

Then it will make sure that the HDD ext partition is mounted before getting out of the loop.

I am guessing that this:

mount -o bind /tmp/hdd/root/opt /opt
mount -o bind /tmp/hdd/root/etc /etc
/tmp/hdd/root/opt/sbin/sshd

works when you issue it manually ..... right???

Hope this help.

It works perfectly now. Thank you for the prompt help, as always!

Anyone has a termcap file good for PBO.

I am getting the following messages when logging tcsh shell:
tcsh: Cannot open /etc/termcap.

A lot of links to videos in various menus work; is there any way to update (or remove) these links?
Also there is an entire section called live TV but nothing in there works.
I'd like to be able to add or replace some of the links to RSS feeds and videos. Is it possible?
Thanks!!

Yes you need to edit/view /usr/local/bin/script/menu.rss (path might be slighly different on the firmware). Just telnet and use the find command if it is not located there to find it:

# find / -name menu.rss

Good luck!!!

I have the P70R2 megapack, but all my settings reset every time I turn off and turn on the PBO using the switch at the back. What could be the problem?

I did downgrade to P02 before upgrading to P70R2 megapack.
